How do people do it (gross content)

[theburns1]

Bought a cheap daily DCI with the sales man saying it needed a clean, thought yeah needs a wipe and hoover. I always keep my cars clean (very clean) but this is a polar opposite! The sales man must of sprayed it with something, as the days went on the smell got worse and worse. It got so bad I really thought I was going to be sick! But since buying the car I had been working long days and not had 2 mins to look at it. When the weekend for here it was time to clean it!!!! I don't have any pics of before but I have a few as I was doing it. The previous owner had dogs and a smoking problem and lazy as fook. The back seats was thick with dog hair and stains and crusty. The hoover didn't even touch it, tried a brush but the smell was too much to make it worth the effort, so out it come only to reveal even more hair and crap. Pictures don't do it justice as it only picks out the main bulk hair. On the pic of the rear you can see between the body and the rear interior panels is full of hair and the hand brake pic speaks for itself. The smell ripping out the interior was making me gag.

Can't wait to get the new interior in and drive the car without feeling sick

Shame on them for selling it in that state!

 

[bashracing]

That'll stink forever, strip it and skip it, get to a scrapyard and spend a ton on a new interior

 

[Knuckles]

@Daniel will be able to advise best on this

Agreed, I'm guessing they tried gave up and covered up

Was it a garage you bought the car from and they cleaned it before you bought it?

Just a trader on ebay

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah ok. Was going to say remind me not to moan as much when our cars go out lol. I'm sure it will be minty mint after you've sorted it. Be good to see the after pics providing you survive

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Haha I've just been doing bits at a time due to the smell, hoping to have it all done tomorrow

 

[imprezaworks]

As one Liam Nielsen said 'good luck'

 

[masekwm]

What a mess! Did they shear the dog in the car?

 

[imprezaworks]

I have seen worse tbh. I don't cringe at customers cars but there has been occasions when I've thought I'm gonna need a tetnus after this

 

[bloke]

cleaned worse than that. bicarb is your friend when it comes to smells. gets rid of dog sick/tripe smells no problem!!

Honestly mate the pics don't do it justice, its awful. I'll take a pic of the seat belts, I don't like wearing them lol

 

[theburns1]

 

[theburns1]

The pics make them look 100% better

As in bicarbonated soda?

 

[theburns1]

Oh yeah belts are mrnt to be silver, they are brown and stained

 

[imprezaworks]

I would have been amazed if they were clean lol

 

[bill]

Surely you new it was caked in s**t before you bought it?

 

[bloke]

As in bicarbonated soda?

yup, works wonders. chuck a load on, scrub it in a bit and then leave for as long as you can then just hoover it off.

 

[theburns1]

Yes and no, car was cheap so was buying either way. Popped my head in, didn't look bad with a general look, saw a bit of dog hair and thought it would clean. He had mats down too. Main smell and state is in the back. For what I paid I don't mind putting a new interior in tbh

Think it would work on the seat belts?

 

[bloke]

hot water and throw some in and give a scrub, won't clean much but will help get rid of the smell.

Sod it, gonna replace all. Wanted to keep the silver belts as I think they are smart (when clean)

Fair enough, one of my mates used to let his German Shepherd in his car all the time, a mk2 astra gte 16v lol, I nearly choked to death everything I went in that car, good luck getting rid of the smell and hairs, the few times our dog's have been in the boot of our old cars I've struggled to get all the hairs out.

 

[brisa4984]

that is f**king disgusting.

Replacing every bit of interior trim, replacing carpet, belts the lot. Then its just the headlining that will need cleaning.

You might as well strip it and track it lol

1.5 DCI 100 doubt it would be good a track lol. Hopefully going to the ring in it next year though

Remap is on the list. We'll have to see, be funny to see what I kept up with.

 

[imprezaworks]

[theburns1]

I've heard 130bhp but I doubt it, I'd be happy with 120bhp with a decat

 

[The Chubby Pirate]
